leadinginnovation2013 - I WANT to Create Digital Formative Assessments



Overview

In this session, we will examine opportunities to develop students' CC/ES critical thinking while simultaneously collecting digital formative assessment data.

Learning Outcomes

After this session, BOOTCAMP 2013 participants will be able to:
  • reflect on formative assessment opportunities when using digital tools (i.e. InfuseLearning);
  • reflect and share possible content specific digital formative assessment ideas.

I. Formative Assessment DRIVES CC/ES Instruction |5 minutes

Formative assessment helps teachers answer these 3 successive questions:
  • What CC/ES do I want my students to learn?
  • How will I (and my students) know when they have learned the CC/ES?
  • How will I (and my students) respond when there is difficulty in learning the CC/ES?

III. Digital Tool Overview, Reflection & Application in Learning & Teaching | 25 minutes

Overview

Now that you have experienced InfuseLearning as a student, let's turn the table and discuss in what ways InfuseLearning enables educators to:
  • Assess student learning in the moment;
  • Discover misconceptions;
  • Capture students' thoughts, drawings and questions;
  • Poll and survey students.

The WHAT | There are TWO distinct aspects to Infuselearning:
  • Quick AssessmentTeacher gives verbal prompts THEN students respond- draw, poll, etc.
  • More Formal Quizzes | Permanent open-ended, T/F, multiple choice, etc.

The HOW | PLAY!!!

How CAN I use InfuseLearning? | Reflection & Application




IV. Mobilize | 2 minutes

InfuseLearning is a cross-platform tool that works seamlessly on iPads, Andriod tablets, Chromebooks, or just about anything else with a modern web browser. But it CANNOT be supported by the web browser Internet Explorer. No APPS required.
